Apple has announced the launch of its groundbreaking spatial computer, the Apple Vision Pro, which is set to revolutionize the way people work, collaborate, and enjoy entertainment. The Vision Pro will be available for pre-orders starting January 19, with the official release date set for February 2 in the U.S.
The Apple Vision Pro seamlessly integrates digital content with the physical world, offering users powerful spatial experiences through its innovative visionOS. This operating system, powered by decades of engineering innovation in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, introduces a brand-new three-dimensional user interface and input system controlled entirely by a user’s eyes, hands, and voice.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, expressed his excitement about the era of spatial computing, stating, “Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created. Its revolutionary and magical user interface will redefine how we connect, create, and explore.”
The device boasts an all-new App Store with access to over 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS, as well as new experiences designed to leverage the unique capabilities of Vision Pro. Users can interact with apps using intuitive gestures, such as looking at them, tapping fingers to select, flicking the wrist to scroll, or using a virtual keyboard or dictation to type. Additionally, Siri integration allows for quick app management and media playback.
One of the standout features of the Apple Vision Pro is the ability for users to immerse themselves in Environments, offering dynamic, beautiful landscapes like national parks and even the surface of the moon. This feature aims to help users focus and reduce clutter in busy spaces, expanding their world beyond the physical confines of a room.
The device also includes a Digital Crown, allowing users to control their level of presence or immersion in an environment with a simple twist. This feature adds a new dimension to the user experience, enhancing the overall spatial computing capabilities of the Vision Pro.
